Visualization of Athletic Activity

Abstract

Example embodiments relate to systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media relating to a user interface, that may for example, receive and / or process physical activity data and allow interaction with the received information in novel implementations.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 935,210, entitled “VISUALIZATION OF ACTIVITY POINTS” and filed Feb. 3, 2014, the contents of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for any and all non-limiting purposes.BACKGROUND[0002]While most people appreciate the importance of physical fitness, many have difficulty finding the motivation required to maintain a regular exercise program. Some people find it particularly difficult to maintain an exercise regimen that involves continuously repetitive motions, such as running, walking and bicycling.[0003]Additionally, individuals may view exercise as work or a chore and thus, separate it from enjoyable aspects of their daily lives. Often, this clear separation between athletic activity and other activities reduces the amount of motivation that an individual might have toward exercising. Further, athletic a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system and method for tracking a user's performance during an exercise session. It uses sensors to monitor the user's activity and calculates energy expenditure points for different activities. The system can display the user's performance metrics in real-time, allowing them to see how they are doing during the exercise. Users can also create unique activity designs that can be used to confirm or validate their identity. The patent is written in a simplified form and is intended only to provide a basic understanding of the technology.

Problems solved by technology

While most people appreciate the importance of physical fitness, many have difficulty finding the motivation required to maintain a regular exercise program.

Some people find it particularly difficult to maintain an exercise regimen that involves continuously repetitive motions, such as running, walking and bicycling.

Often, this clear separation between athletic activity and other activities reduces the amount of motivation that an individual might have toward exercising.

Further, athletic activity services and systems directed toward encouraging individuals to engage in athletic activities might also be too focused on one or more particular activities while an individual's interest are ignored.

This may further decrease a user's interest in participating in athletic activities or using the athletic activity services and systems.
